Victoria Gardens

After the play, Toni and I went to Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. It was the first time either of us had been there. Victoria Gardens is a new upscale outdoor mall with plenty of shops and restaurants. We were quite pleased to see there was a PF Changs there, since it's one of our favorite restaurants.

I wanted to go to the Apple Store to check out Powerbooks. I wanted a Powerbook for our upcoming trip to Hawaii in August. I needed a way to offload the pictures from my camera since we would be gone for 16 days. Plus it would be nice to have access to my blog on the trip and it's nice to be able to check the internet for Hawaii information. The Powerbook will serve double duty at home when Erin or Toni need to write up papers or access the internet. We used Toni's teacher discount to save a little on our Powerbook, so that was nice.

We had a nice time at Victoria Gardens. We were both impressed by the stores and the ambiance. We didn't have nearly enough time to check out all the stores, but I'm sure we'll be back again soon. It's neat that they are open everyday until 10 pm. Now why can't all malls be open that late? I never understood why most malls close earlier on Saturdays and Sundays when most people are able to stay out late shopping.
